Antipater (1st century BC physician)
- Antipater (1st century BC physician)
:"For others of this name, see Antipater (disambiguation)."Antipater was an ancient Greek physician and author of a work titled " On the Soul,", of which the second book is quoted by the Scholiast on Homer (Il. L. 115. p. 306, ed. Bekker; Cramer, Anc.cd. Graeca Paris. vol. iii. p. 14), in which he said that the soul increased, diminished, and at last perished with the body ; and which may very possibly be the work quoted by Diogenes Laertius (vii. 157), and commonly attributed to Antipater of Tarsus.
If he is the physician who is said by Galen (De Meth. Med. i. 7, vol. x. p. 52 ; Introd. c. 4. vol. xiv. p. 684) to have belonged to the sect of the Methodici, he must have lived in or after the 1st century BC; and this date will agree very well with the fact of his being quoted by Andromachus (ap. Gal. De Compos. Medicam. sec. Locos, iii. 1, ix. 2, vol. xii. p.630, vol.xiii. p.239), ScriboniusLargus(Z>eOo;«-postMedt c, 167, p. 221), and Caelius Aurelianus. (De Morb. Chron. ii. 13, p. 404.) His prescriptions are frequently quoted with approbation by Galen and Ae'tius, and the second book of his "Epistles" is mentioned by Caelius Aurelianus.
